Community Support

Mar 19, 2021 | Facility, Volunteers

As always, we could not do the work we do at The GreenHouse Community Center without the help of our community! The following photos show just a few of the ways the incredible Deer Park community has served our needs at the Food Bank in the past few months!

Thanks to our friends Jim and Jane for donating the funds for this new overhead door in our warehouse! They recently heard of the need to replace the old one and let us know right away that they would like to help us out. We are so thankful for their generosity!

Thanks to funds from the Harvest Against Hunger rebate (a Seattle-based Rotary program)! We now have an additional freezer in our Food Bank. As you can see, it didn’t take us long to fill it up!

Volunteer Spotlight: Volunteer Karla is seen here selecting frozen items from our new freezer for a client. When Karla moved to Deer Park a few years ago, she needed something to fill her time and we’re glad she found the GreenHouse. Karla has been helping clients shop in the Food Bank for a little over a year. One thing she loves about the GreenHouse is meeting new people! When she’s not here, she likes to garden (yay spring!), sew and bake.

Meet Heather Lehman

Introducing our new Food Room Manager… Heather Lehman.

Heather came to us last spring when we requested additional volunteers due to COVID-related changes at the GreenHouse. In late September, she was hired as the Food Room Manager. She has been doing a great job coordinating our food bank volunteers and managing all the food that comes in each week . Clients appreciate Heather’s smiling face each time they check in at the Food Bank. Heather is a life-time resident of Eastern Washington, and we’re glad she found her way to the GreenHouse!
